First, the linux_VER.bb change should be part of the patch that bring in
the patches for the board. Second, I see upstream there's a
mpc512x_defconfig. How much of this platform works upstream with a more
recent kernel? Thanks!

Hi,
1. I wanted to make a clear distinction between what I have written and
what I have taken from
http://www.freescale.com/files/soft_dev_tools/software/board_support_packages/TWRMPC5125LinuxBSP.rar
which contains the Linux kernel 2.6.29-v2010041601 for the TWR-MPC5125-KIT.
Therefore linux_VER.bb is in [mpc5125-twr 1/2], because I have changed
it. Otherwise I would put it together in one patch.
2. I have tried to provide the same for Openembedded as Freescale is
currently shipping on their web page
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=TWR-MPC5125-KIT&fpsp=1&tab=Design_Tools_Tab.
I have not tried to port it to a more recent kernel.
Is there already a more recent kernel, which contains mpc5125-twr support?
Best regards
Jan

Hi,
1. I have described the usage and the current state of the BSP of the
new machine mpc5125-twr in a tutorial and wanted to publish it on
gentoo-wiki.com. Unfortunately gentoo-wiki.com is currently not accessible.
Here is the tutorial in text form.
2. I can provide it also as html file, if someone wants it.
3. I would like to publish this tutorial under
http://www.openembedded.org/index.php/Category:Machine
because I think this would be the right place for it.
How can I get write access to the openembedded-wiki?
Best regards
Jan

It's possible that yes, this hardware is supported in 2.6.37.

Hi,
you can find the tutorial on gentoo-wiki.com now:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Freescale_TWR-MPC5125/Openembedded
It describes the usage and the current state of the BSP for the new
machine mpc5125-twr.
I hope it helps.
Best regards

The support in 2.6.37 seems to be for the CPU Freescale MPC5121 and the
board ADS512101. The support files for MPC5125 and TWR-MPC5125 are
missing. The names TWR-MPC5125 or "mpc5125-twr are nowhere mentioned.
E.g linux-2.6.29/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc5125-twr.dts is missing in
linux-2.6.37
linux-2.6.37/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc5121ads.dts is different to
linux-2.6.29/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc5125-twr.dts
The CPUs MPC5125 and MPC5121 are similar, but are not the same.
Currently I don't know the exact differences and cannot decide which
code for MPC5121 runs also on MPC5125.
